Trakt Ids not uniq ?

[MoonArrow]

Hi,

I am using Trakt.tv with pleasure since many years now. For some statistical purpose, I started to write a small script to take my tvshows/episodes/movies seen history. I store the relevant information to avoid calling Trakt API too often.

During the process, I found 2 episodes with the same ID (2037955) Lucifer S01E08 and 9-1-1 S03E11. The id I use is the id in ids structure when calling https://api.trakt.tv/shows/id/seasons/season/episodes/episode

I always assumed that this id was uniq. Am I wrong or have I just found an incoherence in database ?

If this Id is not uniq by design, is there a uniq ID I can use on the movies/tvshows/episodes to rely on ?

Thanks
M.

Not sure if I'm looking at a different set of IDs or endpoint usage to you but it looks like you might be confusing/mixing two different source IDs?
Looks like the Lucifer episode has trakt ID 2037955 but the 9-1-1 episode has trakt ID 3875399, whereas it does have "the same" ID of 2037955 but for tmdb.
